Solution Overview

Problem

In mobile telecommunication devices, the transmission of ramping data from the digital baseband processing unit to the analog baseband or RF processing unit results in noise and increased data processing burden due to the large quantity of data transmitted through a serial interface, which affects the output power control and memory capacity.

Innovation Solution

The method involves extracting difference values of ramping data and transmitting these as sample difference ramping data with a smaller bit number, reducing the transmission amount and noise, while the analog baseband processing unit generates the ramping up/down signal based on the received data to control the output power level.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information from the ramping data by calculating difference values between consecutive ramping samples. Instead of transmitting the complete ramping profile data, only the differences are transmitted through the serial interface, which reduces data volume and minimizes noise while preserving the ability to reconstruct the full ramping profile at the receiving end.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a compressed representation (copy) of the ramping data in the form of difference values. The receiving end can reconstruct the original ramping profile by accumulating these difference values, effectively creating a lossless compressed copy that requires fewer bits for transmission while maintaining full data accuracy.
